The only single-shot sniper rifles in the game are the Widow and the Isharay, afaik, and the Isharay you can actually build early on due to how easy it is to get Heleus research points.
Sure they do. They just don't do the full damage hits at range. I still see a little white x show up and it takes a few shots to the head for a kill but it works.
Besides, AI combat engagement ranges in this game are so bad that you don't need hilariously long distances for sniping without getting shot at.

The maximum range I can get with any sniper rifle is about 100m, that's just nonsense. Or, imho I guess.

An assault rifle hits that distance, so that's what I go with.
You are simply missing...
i've tried adjusting for arc, no matter how high i adjust for slope i get nothing. 85m just fine, 94m still bullseye, 101m nothing. except on the krogan colony world (can't remember how that's spelled), there i can get a hit at up to 110m or so, but everywhere else maximum range for me seems to be 100m or less.
---edit
i'm on elaaden (i had to write the name down lol) and i decided to tryout a widow (i actually don't like it all that much), using a widow i have a maximum effective range (maximum effective range meaning, maximum range a weapon can operate in without a noticeable degradation in performance) seems to be about 110m, though i can reliably strike targets at 170m, but only with a widow, i'd try a blackwidow though i don't have the research points for it atm. it's a shame i still don't like that particular weapon, nor do i think the maximum range is still sufficient for a sniper rifle. but this is noticeably better.
